THREE courses of study are open to the members of the

University:

I. THE CLASSICAL COURSE, extending through four years ; at

the expiration of which time, those who have satisfactorily met

the requirements of the Faculty are admitted to the degree of

Bachelor of Arts.

II. THE ScrnNTU'IC CouRSE, extending through four yenrs

requiring no Greek, and only so much of Latin as is essential

to the successful prosecution of the Modern Languages and the

mastery of Scientific Terminology. In the place of Greek and

Latin, a more extended course of study is prescribed in Physical

Science, Mathematics, History, a~d the Modern Languages.

Those who satisfactorily complete this course are admitted to the

degree of Bachelor of Science.

III. THE ECLECTIC CouRsE, designed for students who may

desire to receive instruction in particular departments, without

becoming candidates for degrees. Such students are admitted,

provided they have the requisite preparation for the studies of

those departments and become subject to the laws of the

University. This arrangement is intended to meet the wants of

those whose age, or circumstances, may prevent them from

pursuing either of the regular courses, but who are desirous of

obtaining the liberal culture which the studies of a portion of

the course will give them. Special care is taken to give such

students the instruction which they require.

B 17


REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.

Candidates for admission to the University are expected to

furnish satisfactory testimonials respecting character ; and-if

from other colleges-certificates of regular dismission.

No person will be admitted to the Freshman Class who has not

completed his fourteenth year; or to an advanced standing,

without a corresponding advance in age.

The Monday and Tuesday before Commencement and the

Wednesday before the opening of the following term, are the

regular times for examining candidates. Examinations :rpay take

place at other times at the discretion of the Faculty.

The requirements for admission are as follows :

FOR THE CLASSICAL COURSE.

Gilmore's Art of Expression ; Guyot's Common School Geo

graphy; Swinton's Condensed History of the United States;

Robinson's Arithmetic; R~binson's University Algebra - to

Quadratic Equations ; Robinson's Geometry - six books;

Harkness's, or Allen and Greenough's, Latin Grammar; Four

books of Cresar's Commentaries; Four Orations of Cicero - of

which one shall be that for the Poet Archias, and one, that for

the Manilian Law; Six books of Virgil's 1Eneid ; and 39 sections

of Arnold's Latin Prose Composition ; Hadley's, or Crosby's,

Greek Grammar ; Three books of Xenophon's Anabasis, and one

book of Homer's Iliad.:

FOR THE SCIENTIFIC COURSE.

The same as for the Classical Course, with the exception of the \

requirements in Greek.

18


FOR THE ECLECTIC COURSE.

Sufficient preparation to profit by the instruction given to any

existing class.

A fair equivalent for the above requirements will; of course, be

accepted, but candidates for admission are advised to conform,

literally, to the requirements of the catalogue. Upon their

examination for entrance, and in their subsequent instruction,

it will be taken for granted that they have done so.

The University has no preparatory department; but those who

wish to pursue studies in the city or vicinity, _with reference

to admission to its classes, will find abundant facilities for

doing so, under the advice and direction of the Faculty.

Any student who may be admitted to the University under

conditions; as, also, any student who, after admission, may

have shown himself deficient in any department of study, will

be required to make up his deficiencies under a private tutor,

who shall be selected by the Faculty. All existing deficiencies

of this nature will be noted in the catalogue.

GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY.

These Cabinets, containing over 40,000 carefully selected speci

mens, are an encyclopredia of ihe sciences which they illustrate.

They were collected by Professor ,vard, during ten years of

extensive foreign travel, and during many careful visits to a large

number of the most fruitful American localities. Having been

compiled, from the first, upon a plan which contemplated the most

complete illustration of every point in these two departments of

inorganic nature, it is believed that they ofter opportunities to

students of these sciences, unsurpassed in this country.

The Cabinet of Geology commences with a collection of over

3,000 rocks, arranged in orders and families, in explanation of the

science of Lithology. Every rock species, as recognized by the

latest authors, is exemplified in this series ; and all points of

interest in technical, or economic, Geology are amply illustrated.

Another eries of rocks illustrates the several Geologic

formations. Other serie are Geographir. in their character, and

show the student the mineral composition of some typical

Geographic region.

The Lithologic section of the cabinet also contains a valuable

series of rocks, collected by Prof. James Orton-now of Vassar

College-illustrative of the Geology of the Andes.

The collections of fossils are from the standard localities in

Europe and America, and represent the animal and vegetable life


which covered the surface of the earth during each of the great

Geologic periods.

A prominent feature of the . Cabinet consists in its plaster

copies, perfect in form and dimensions, of all the well known

genera of fossil animals.

The Geologic Cabinet · also embraces a series of models,

maps, sections, ideal landscapes, and cuts of fossils, intended to

illustrate the lectures which are given upon these subjects.

The Cabinet of Minerals is equally rich and comprehensive. It

begins with several extensive series of specimens intended to

illustrate the subject of Crystallography and the physical proper

ties of minerals ; and contains about li,000 choice specimens,

representing four-fifths of all the species known.

CABINET OF ARCH£0LOGY.

The foundation has been laid for a Cabinet of Archreology by

the purchase of a small, but well authenticated, collection of

flint and bronze implements from the drift region of Abbeville

and St. Acheul, in France. To this cabinet some specimens of

the stone implements of the American Indians have been added;

and it has also been enriched by a very choice collection of stone

implements from the vicinity of Copenhagen, and numerous

specimens of pottery from the tombs of the Incas.

CABINET OF ART.

A beginning has also been made in the collection of material

for the illusti·ation of a cotirse of lectures, give? to each Senior

class by the President, on the History of Art and the Principles

of JEsthetic Criticism. Engravings, chromo-lithographs and

28


autotypes, illustrative of the masterpieces of architecture,

sculpture and painting, have been gradually and carefully se

lected; and, in this direction, the immediate wants of the

University are reasonably well supplied. Illustrative material of

another kind-in the shape of models, casts, etc.-is imperatively

demanded in order to give the highest efficiency to the course of

art instruction.

LIBRARY.

The Library of' the University is open daily, from 8 to 9 A. M.,

and on Saturday, from 10: 15 to 12 A. M., for consultation and for

the drawing of books. All the students have access to the Library,

and are aided in consulting it by the Librarian and other members

of the Faculty. The Library contains 12,000 carefully selected

volumes, and especial pains is taken to make its contents practi

cally available by card-catalogues and indexes of periodical and

miscellaneous literature-all of which are brought down to date,

and accessible to every student.

The Library of the Rochester Theological Seminary is freely

accessible to students of the University.

THE RATHBONE LIBRARY FUND,

the gift of Gen. John F. Rathbone, of Albany, amountstotwenty

five thousand dollars, and will, it is expected, be largely increased

on the completion of the Sibley Library Building. In the

purchase of books, preference is giYen to those works which are

demanded by the officers and students for the successful prosecu

tion of their inquiries in the various departments of study.

THE CHEMICAL LABORATORY. ·

To supplement the instruction given to undergraduates in

General Chemistry, a Laboratory has been provided and furnished

29


with the requisite apparatus, for the use of those who may wish to

pursue a more extended course of theoreticll.l and practical

Chemistry, by conducting their . own experiments and investiga

iions, under the direction of the professor. This Laboratory bas

recently been enlarged and refitted, to meet the increasing

demands upon it.

Special students are admitted to the Laboratory for instrnction

in the theory and practice of Chemical Analysis, qualitative and

quantitative; the application of Chemistry to Agriculture,

Pharmacy, the Mechanic Arts, etc. For further particulars

respecting this department, application may be made to the

Professor of Chemistry.

THE TREVOR TELESCOPE.

Through the thoughtful liberality of John B. Trevor, Esq.,

President of the Bonrd of Trustees, a telescope has been pm

chased during the past year of Alvin Clarke-and Sons, Cambridge

port, Mass., and a building erected for Astronomical purposes.

This instrument-which has a six-inch object-glass, is seven feet

six inclles in focal length, and is mounted equatorially, with right

ascension and declination circles - is designed for use as rin

adjunct to class-room instruction, though sufficiently powcrfnl for

purposes of special investigation.

RECITATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS.

Recitations are held from 9 : 15 to 12 : 15 A. 111.-each class

having three daily exercises of one hour. The number, or length,

of these exercises may be increased . at the ·discretion of the

Faculty. On Snturday, the classes atte'nd in the lecture-room but

one hour; and that, rather for instruction than for recitation.

Examinations are conducted hy a combination of writte\ and

30

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER .

1 oral exercises; and in the presence of a Committee of the Faculty.

Students pursuing an Eclectic Course arc required to pass the

examinations of the departments with which they connect them

selYes. No student is admitted to examination whose absences,

during the term, exceed twenty per cent. of the exercises of the

department in which he presents himself for examination.

Examinations are held, on each study, at the close of the term

during which it has been pursued. Examinations for delinquent

students are held on the third Saturday after the beginning, and

the third Saturday before the end, of each term.

- ·-MORAL AND RELIGIOUS CULTURE.

It is the aim of the Faculty, in connection with the discipline of

the intellect, to inculcate a pure morality, and those truths and

duties concerning which all Christians are agreed. The public

duties of each day are opened at 9 o'clock A. 111., with reading of

the Scriptures, singing and prayer, in the University Chapel.

The students are required to attend, unless especially excused

by the Faculty.

In the Greek Department there is a weekly recitation in the

Greek New Testament.

\V eekly prayer meetings are held under the auspices of the

Yonng Men's Christian Association, in a room, centrally sitµated,

which the Trustees have provided for that purpose. Prayer

meetings are also held by each class, at the close of the Saturday

morning recitation .

Parents and guard ians are requested to designate places of

worship, at which their sons, or wards, are expected to attend

regularly on the Sabbath.

UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER .

PUBLIC EXERCISES.

1. Prize Declamations by members of the Sophomore Class,

on the Monday evening preceding Commencement.

2. Commencement, on the Wednesday preceding the Fourth

of July.

The number of speakers at Commencement will, hereafter,

be limited to:

(1) Those members of the graduating class whose average

standing, since the appointments for the Sophomore Exhibition,

shall equal or exceed 9-the maximum being 10.

(2) A sufficient number to be selected by lot from those whose

average standing is 7.50 or more, to make the whole number of

speakers sixteen.

Any student who is designated by lot to speak at Commence

ment may, however, at the discretion of the Faculty, be granted

the privilege of exchange with a class-mate whose standing is

7.50 or more.

EXPENSES.

The University has no dormitories, conforming, in this respect,

to the German, ratbet· than the English model. Those who send

their sons, or wards, to the University, are recommended to

secure for them, so far as practicable, tbe influence of a Christian

home. Unfurnished rooms, which afford suitable accommodations

for two students, can, however, be secured for $1.00 per week.

The average price paid for a furnished room, suitable for two

students, is about $2.00 per week. Boarding can be obtained in

private families for from $3.50 to $5.00 per week. The Janitor

t; :-1 \'I: t:SITY 01'' IWCH ESTElL

of the University will furnish its patrons with all necessary

information respecting rooms and boarding.

Tuition, per term, including incidentals, 25 .00.

The rules established by the Trustees, with reference to the

payment of tuition, requfre the settlement of all bills at the beginning

of each term; that students in the Eclectic course pay full tuition ;

and that orders for tuition on scholarships be presented as soon as

received. No deduction is made for absence.

A large number of students find profitable employment in the

city, in teaching private pupils a11d classes, and in various other

occppations-thus enabling them ·to provide, in considerable part,

for the expenses of their education. Students who have practical

acquaintance with any of the useful arts, are able to procure

constant and remunerative employment in the city.

Indigent students for the ministry, regularly approved by

churches, receive assistance from the New York Baptist Union

for Ministerial Ediication, and, under certain conditions, free

tuition from the University. which has set apart forty scholarships

for this purpose.

Other indigent students, of good character, are occasionally

assisted from funds at the disposal of the President.

Pa1·ents and guardians are earnestly requested to exercise a

careful supervision over their sons, or wards, and to discriminate

between necessary and unnecessary expenses. Exp:rience pro,·es

that nothing has a more unfavorable influence upon a student's

conduct and habits of study, than the unrestrained use of money.
